Heyward doubled as well. He's now 5 for 19 with two doubles since returning from the disabled list. Although he hasn't homered since his return, a .263 average and .391 on-base percentage are a far sight better than the respective .121 and .261 marks he carried into his DL stint.

Dirks is batting .302 (19 for 63) with a .556 slugging percentage, one triple, two doubles, two stolen bases, four walks, 10 RBI and 11 runs in his last 16 games. His average has gone from .200 to .252 in that span.

Cabrera is batting .464 (13 for 28) with a 1.107 slugging percentage, three doubles, five home runs and nine RBI during his hitting streak. For the month of May, Cabrera is batting .413 with a .813 slugging percentage, 1.296 OPS, six doubles, eight home runs and 21 RBI in 18 games.

Freeman's RBI single in the 10th inning won it for Atlanta. He also doubled in a run and scored a run. His line is up to .293/.365/.407.

"The swing is getting there," Granderson said, per the New York Post. "No matter what, you’re going to run through tough at-bats. No matter what you do in extended spring training or in the minors, there’s nothing that can replicate what you find here. Physically, I’m ready."

Yankees manager Joe Girardi is confident Granderson is about to hit his stride.

"He’s starting to drive some balls," Girardi said. "I think he’s getting closer and about ready to take off."

Montero, who was recently promoted to Triple-A Las Vegas from Double-A Binghamton, is 4-4 with a 3.38 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in nine starts. He also has struck out 59 batters and walked just seven in 53 1/3 innings.

d'Arnaud is currently recovering from a fractured right foot and Alderson hopes he's playing in games again by July 1.

Gyorko went 3 for 4 with a double and a run scored. The Padres managed just seven hits against St. Louis starter Adam Wainwright and reliever Carlos Martinez, and Gyorko's double was the only extra-base hit. Gyorko is hitting a robust .278/.347/.430.

Lemahieu doubled twice and knocked in two runs. He's 6 for 13 to open 2013 for the Rockies and is proving to be a solid backup to primary second baseman Josh Rutledge.
